So is that the reason why we couldn't score?

We just weren't good enough tonight. Wigan were class.

They started to waste time 10 minutes into the game and the first yellow card for time wasting was in the 94 minute .

I'm not complaining about the result. I'm complaining about the cheating. We weren't great but the fact is that this should get as much attention as the "ghost" goal at Wembley last night.

at the end, Habsi spent 70 secs taking the kick. then the ref spent 20 secs running to him to yellow him. then they took another 10 secs kicking it.

thats 100 secs of extra time WASTED.

so what does the ref do? HE ADDS ON 25 SECONDS TO EXTRA TIME.

REF = MUG

Most games see the ball out of play for something like 40-60 minutes.

If you add all that time on, then all the subsequent time lost in injury time, games will go on forever!

No it wouldn't D'Jeezus, the players would stop doing it.

ranna, it isn't about players stopping it. That 40-60 minutes is normal for all games, including ones with no time wasting.

They manage it with rugby well enough. They should employ the same system here.

Your average game normally only sees the ball in play for around 2/3 of the times - for half an hour the ball is normally dead.

Yes but we should be working to reduce this.
